He rated the song a 7... I don't think it was meant as a negative comment... just well... probably enjoying too much of that recently legalized substance to be behind the keys. Just a thought... {#Foot-in-mouth}

Was thinking these guys had listened a lot to Brian Wilson.

An abrupt ending, which would've been appreciated somewhat earlier.

I hear a bit of Bach here, St. Matthews Passion/Mass in B Minor (maybe, who knows?).  It's that ethereal chorus that's just wonderful.

love this album -

This song starts like an outtake from Smile or Pet Sounds

I'm thinking Mr. Mercer was listening to some of Mr. Wilson.

Following Bill Withers' "Use Me" - that's odd.   {#Stupid}

TOTALLY agree. Also - to cite a more recent example, Animal Collective.

Not being "judge-mental" at all, i'd say this is a great listen!

Judging from the opening, I'd say that Danger Mouse was listening to a lot of 'Pet Sounds' around the time they made this record.

If you like this song, I would highly recommend buying this CD. It flows extremely well and is filled with tuneful, well-crafted songs.

Sounds to me like some lateish Beatles (White Album-) in absolute amazing recording quality.
